The main objective of the project is to design, construct, and test bench-scale water treatment systems composed of a metallic iron reactor, an aeration tank, and a sedimentation basin. The system should be able to remove phosphate and nitrate from simulated agricultural wastewater to below the discharge limit. The students will learn chemical reactions between metallic iron and pollutants, reduction and oxidation reactions involving iron, and mass transfer of oxygen; perform literature searches; use a spectrophotometer and ion chromatography for phosphate and nitrate analyses; and carry out batch experiments to determine the kinetics of reactions between phosphate, nitrate, and iron filings. The parameters obtained in laboratory experiments will be used to design a full-scale water treatment system.

At its best, creativity in structural engineering leads to forms that are notable for their sculptural and aesthetic quality as much as for their structural intelligence. Structures that express this behavior clearly and elegantly achieve the highest levels of artistic creation, and become cultural symbols that exceed historical and cultural boundaries. This course explores Art in Structural Engineering as it evolves in modern history, beginning with the Cast Iron bridges of the Industrial Revolution. It progresses through the works of Eiffel, Roebling, Freyssinet, and Maillart to modern-day innovators like Menn, Khan, and Calatrava. Students learn engineering concepts through technical presentations on structural landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Guggenheim Museum, George Washington Bridge, and the Hearst Tower. The course studies beautiful works of structural art and takes site visits in the metropolitan area to supplement the classroom material. These trips will include the Brooklyn Bridge, Skyscraper Museum, Cast Iron District, Flatiron Building, Guggenheim Museum, and Hearst Building. The course converges engineering, architecture, design, and art into one distinguished field. It teaches the concepts and designs behind structural engineering, so high a quality in imaginative conception and execution, that the engineering itself takes on the aspects of art.

Topics in biology are discussed from a quantitative point of view to develop an appreciation for biology and mathematics and the connections between them. Living systems are viewed through an engineering perspective as open systems using descriptive and quantitative models. Mathematical approaches are taken to heredity and genetics, cellular organization, transport and metabolism, human physiology, ecology, and toxicology. These are presented as applications of probability, linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, and other methods. The relevant mathematical principles are introduced as needed in each module. Note: This course can be used to satisfy either Science Elective I or II for the engineering curriculum but cannot be combined with another biology course to meet t
hese requirements. This course is not eligible as a science elective for those students pursuing the Biomedical Engineering program which requires CH 281 Biology and Biotechnology.
